It gets really boring sitting in the back row when your classmates can't figure out how to square (x+y)(x-y). hmm

Here's part of it:

Captain Kog (better name desperately needed) skillfully landed the USS Incomprehensible on a small, uncivilized alien planet which revolves around the star Sol named "Earth" by the inhabitants. He leaned back to admire his new surroundings, pressing a discreet yellow button to open a mechanical window in front of him. At that moment, he realized the surroundings didn't quite look right.

Captain Kog was an experienced captain. Having run the USS Incomprehensible for a good 15 years now, he knew exactly what to do. He calmly called his second-in-command, Copilot Zog. (again, names are desperately needed)

"Zog, what do you see over there?"
"Sir, it appears to be a window."
"Fair enough," replied Kog, who was used to Zog's practical interpretation of life, "what do you see outside the window?"

Zog considered this. He never bothered looking out windows. He always knew he had better things to do in life. Looking at the situation now, though, he realized he didn't have anything better to do. So he looked out the window.

"It appears to be a desert. There is a cactus not 20 feet from your window."
"And what does that tell you?"

Zog decided against pointing out that cacti lack vocal chords, and instead took the figurative meaning.

"Well, the fact that a cactus could survive in this vast desert, with minimal water and sweltering heat all year round, is really mindblowing. It is truly a miracle of nature how life will adapt no matter what," he replied.
"How true!" remarked Kog, staring out the window at the blinding ocean of sand in front of him. It reminded him of home. "Anything else?"
"Yes, Sir. We seem to have taken a wrong turn somewhere, this doesn't look a BIT like New York City."

Thanks, I really needed a break from muddling through boring equations; what better way than to write something funny? tongue

Yeah. It's like the subjects you rock at go too slow the the ones you don't grok whatsoever go at warp 2.

You're hilarious.

PS: ((x+y)(x-y))^2 = (x^2 - y^2)^2 = x^4 - 2(xy)^2 + y^4
Did i get it right?

Bump. I tried writing a sequel today, but the math teacher gave me a huge worksheet to wade through... sad

mythbusteranimator · 2012-09-25 10:00:14

Darn. sad

Whisperfur · 2012-09-25 11:59:13

Lol big_smile
I like the names , they're simple and amusing except... I'd change captain wog's name, it is an offensive word. Maybe Qog or Pickle?

It is? Really? Oops, I'll change it. hmm

EDIT: Now he's captain Kog. big_smile

Nice story! Last year I always sat in the far corner in the back of the room with my friend and we just draw little pictures in our notebooks sometimes since we didn't understand squat with that teacher anyway XD
My friend drew the teacher in marker on her paper and the teacher passed by our spots and luckily he didn't notice yikes

Great job! Humor is surprising and funny, and I am curious about where the story is going after this.
Just make sure you don't miss anything important because you're not paying attention.

You're welcome.

Well, I don't know what you guys are learning in math class, but just don't miss anything new by accident.

Oh, don't worry; I always do all this stuff once I'm totally done with all my exercises (which honestly takes me 5 minutes max).
